I have almost a pathological aversion to using the word "important" to focus others' attention. It feels like an imposition of values.
@BiasOfEstimator Umm... I wouldn't say that. People who regularly open with "this is important" or put it in subject lines tend to annoy me.

@vgr Stated with no intent to accuse hypocrisy. "Important" still has utility though is now being debased. Dead words annoy even on mention. -
@BiasOfEstimator I think the word only has utility among those who are collaborating on something and there is implied shared context.
